No.

They didn't decline a single 3.45+, 173+ last year.If you assume that the WLs, which there are a shit load of, are YP, then if the OP WANTS U.Va, why wouldn't they get off that WL the vast majority of the time?

You also have a fighting chance at C and C even without Eding, it's just my opinion that the result will be out.

Ahh. Decisions, decisions.

My top two choices are C and C. I talked to some 1L and 2Ls at Chicago and they recommended I ED (one of them got in off waitlist after RD, similar numbers - but said waitlist was what you hear about it: Hell). The other ED'd Columbia, got WL and got in at Chicago RD (few years back, similar numbers).

Guess I gotta really think about this before I select ED/RD this weekend when I apply this weekend.

lol'd. You clearly don't understand UVA's admissions process at all. If OP doesn't ED to UVA they will not get in. If they do, the chances are pretty good. OP don't listen to 2014, everything he/she wrote in this thread is pretty wrong.

Well some people do actually get in RD with OP's numbers. Hell some even get scholarships.

How important our Why Essays? I'm similar numbers, slightly worse: 172/3.49. I wrote Why X Essays for Michigan and Duke but none of the others I applied to. If I'm really interested in UVA in particular, should I submit one? I've already sent in my applications, so how does that work?

Important for Yield Protect. I believe you can email UVA with it and they will add it to your file
